College Basketball Thread

“So far, UT is handling Mississipi State. With 4 minutes to go, it doesn't look like MSU can pull it off.”

“Damn, in the time it took me to post, make a drink and sit back down, the Dawg pull to within 5 with 2 minutes to play....damn.”

“What a finish. UT almost blew it.”

“Rebuilding years suck. We just got our first road win of the year, which is of course the first road win for Billy G as Wildcats coach.”

“The Jayhawks are back to their winning ways. However, they looked a little bewildered at times in the first half. Second half was all Jayhawk basketball, though.
Congrats to Bowlderman. Stanford is playing some good ball.
Gators got spanked.
It's gonna be a wild tournament, again.”

“

AHHHHHHH!!!!

”

“And the last undefeated team in women's basketball gets kicked to the curb.




Hey chili -

I understand Tennessee has a pretty decent team this year.

See you next Monday.”

“Dream on.”

“

Epiphanny Prince had 33 points against the #1 team in the nation. Love that little girl.”

“And that now the Womens team with the longest winning streak in the country is......


Chattanooga”

“Tennessee is something like 12-3 against Rugters, all time.

Rutgers is good.....Tennessee is world class.”

“Talk, talk, talk...

You may well be eating those words. We'll see next week.


Your men looked pretty awesome last night - I caught the last few minutes.”

“I wonder how long before arclite shows his face here?”

“Having read his posts, I never thought it was his face that was showing.”

“How did I guess that the Rev would be struttin' around with his chest all puffed out this morning....”

“He had implants?”

“i can't believe Bobby K just walked away mid-season like that, weird”

“After 16 seasons, Calapari is in good company.

“hell is Carolina VS. Duke

cant figure out which one I hate the most.”

“That's easy--Carolina. Duke sucks, but Carolina swallows.”

“Does Rutgers have a men's team?”

“73 - Mississippi State 73
66 - Alabama
Final”

“Tejas vs. the Jayhawks tonight! Don't miss it on Big Monday.”

“Is it still basketball season? At this rate, Bama won't even be in the NIT.”

“Day, you could always cheer for another team with Crimson as one of their colors. I would like that.”

“I can do that. I've never been able to pull for a top 5 time for more than a week or two at a time. We can only break into the elite ranks after big wins. These big wins are usually followed by stupid losses.”

“KU keeps winning the close ones, but there are some great teams out there. Tonight could be another scary game for the Jayhawks if Augustin is hot.”

“It's going to be a great year for the jayhawks.......

DH - it looks like OSU may be hanging with you guys in the NIT. If only John Parker Wilson could dribble......”

“I dunno chili - that looked like a pretty blatant homer to me.”

“0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, Foul.”

“If only John Parker Wilson could accurately pass the ball.”

“Check out the video. When you watch it in real time, you can hear that the whistle was blown after the clock should have expired. I'm just sick about this.

“Purdue...first place in the Big Ten”

“The dream ends here.........well, actually...there....in Knoxville....tomorrow night.....showdown.....7:05 PM


Can you say Sonny Weems?

How bout Patrick Beverly?








RAZORBACK NATION BEEATCH!”

“A BIG congratulations to Ped and all the Shorthorn fans out there. Ouch, that hurt.”

“From what I understand, the clock is NOT manually operated, but it stops when a whistle is blown. It is restarted by a ref.

While there was clearly some human error, it appears to me that the whistle stopped the clock with .2 seconds. It WAS NOT stopped by anyone other than a ref. It appears this is the system used in both men's and women's basketball with the exception of the tournament.

I will say, however, if the shoe was on the other foot, I would be pissed too. Rutgers played a great game. I hope UT doesn't see them in a bracket as a two seed.”

“I just hate it when I discover my wife is still logged in and I didn't notice it for a couple hours.”

“PURDUE!”

“I thought, dang, NGB knows her some rules.”

“book it - Illinois went into Minny and took down the goofy gophers. Woo hoo! I bet the Illini are the best 11-14 team you have ever seen.

Now the only thing left to do is win the Big 10 tournament and start the trek to the national championship from a 15-seed.

I believe.”

“Not looking so good for Kelvin. I imagine his days are numbered.

“Hub,

I still support the Hoosiers, however I started paying more attention to Purdue this year. I did not go to college at IU, yet I have always put the Hoosiers higher than Purdue, the school I attended.

It is obvious that Kelvin screwed up though.

Did you watch the Illini-IU Game?”

“Yes, I saw the game. It's un-freaking-believable how bad Illinois is at free throws.”

“That's what Tennessee officials said chili, but Mike Constable, owner/inventor of the Precision Time System used called BS on that explanation. According to him, the ref's whistles are wirelessly connected to the time clock but the timekeeper also has the ability to stop and start the clock. http://www.nj.com/rutgers/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1202880976300230.xml&coll=1

If the ref's whistle stopped the clock, why on Earth did it start again? Something went wrong and Tennessee athletic officials are playing games.

I don't want to take away from a great program. The Lady Vols have a legendary coach, the team is loaded with great talent and the program has already been where Rutgers is striving to get.

What happened at the close of that game flat out stinks. If all conferences were to upgrade their equipment, a repeat is less likely to happen: http://www.nj.com/rutgers/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1202880997300230.xml&coll=1

“Yeah, but Arkansas rules and Tennessee drools....”

“I wanted to be a Kelvin Sampson fan. Always liked his Oklahoma teams. However, compound repeated cheating with repeated lying and I'm gonna have to say bye-bye, Kelvin. Good luck at Long Beach State.”

“BAWK BAWK BAWK !
(walkin like Mic Jagger)
